ROOSEVELT FLAYS
'SHADOW HUNS'
U. S. Must Punish German
Aggressors For Crimes
in War
Johnstown, Pa., Oct. 1. "Shadow-
Huns," men who sit in our national
legislature and serve the Kaiser, and
"the Huns within our gates," received
another denunciation yesterday from
former President Theodore Roosevelt
in an address at the Workingmen's
Red Cross Sunday celebration. De
parting from his set address. Colonel
Roosevelt brought to the several thou
sand workingmen in his audience the
need of true Americanism and the
duty devolving upon every citizen of
the United States in standing behind
the young men who have enlisted or
have been made parts of the National
Army for the purpose of "cutting the
German cancer clean out of the world
body."
"Sfnd 111 in lluek to Germany"
Reviewing the remarks attributed
to Senator LaFollette in some of the
Senator's recent addresses, Roosevelt
declared:
"You don't find any shadow-Huns
in Germany. If in Germany any man
acted as LaFollette in this country,
they would put him to digging
trenches. 1 would send him as a gift
to the Kaiser. Bet the shadow-Huns
go back to their country." .
"Until the German cancer is cut
clean out of the world body," said Mr.
Roosevelt, "this great war for the vic
torious peace of justice must go on.
Germany has reduced savagery to a
science.
"There are official records of more
than 10.000 separate atrocities com
mitted by the German armies, not
sporadically, but as a part of the de
liberate plan of 'schrecklichkeit,' or
horror, upon which the German Gov
ernment lias counted."
Quoting from the recent statement
of the Rev. Newell Dwlght Hillis. of
Brooklyn, concerning German out
rages, Colonel Roosevelt added:
"The eonditions thus authoritative
ly described by an unimpeachable wit
ness should wake every man and wo
man in America to the need of trying
to help the tortured people of Belgium
and France. Your committees here in
Johnstown should get in touch with
Dr. Hillis and follow his advice as to
how to proceed, and you should, of
course, back up the Red Cross in
every way.
Are Fighting Our Rattle
"France and Belgium, together with
England, have been fighting our bat
tle as surely as they have been fight
ing their own. The Prussianized Ger
many of the Hohenzollerns is seeking
world dominion. It has shown ruth
less treachery and brutality. Its
course for three years has proved that
it wants only the opportunity to
strike down and plunder any power
not able by military force to resist its
attacks. In trying to save themselves.
France and England and poor little
Belgium have saved us, for this
wealthy and unprepared nation would
have been an easy and most desirable
victim for Germany if it had not been
for the allied fleets and armies which
for three yeMrs have stood between us
and ruin. During these years of ease
our wealth has. grown, and all of us
should give what we can to help the
wretched victim* who have suffered
sueh intolerable wrongs in France and
Uelglum.
"Rut thl? Is not pnouprh. Merely to
help the sorely stricken does not
meet the situation. We must punish
the aggressor in such fashion that
never again will there be a repetition
of wrongdoing such as Germany has
committed in this war. Never again
must we be put in such an ignoble
position as to owe our safety only to
others. Next time it may not pay
other nations to save us from the ef
fects of our folly. Uncle Sam must
hereafter prepare his strength so that
he himself can guarantee his own
safety against any foreign foe.
"We have gone to war because Ger
many had during two years committed
upon us putrages to which no self
respecting or manly nation could en
dure. We shall fight in Europe so as
to save ourselves or our children from
the necessity of fighting on our own
continent against alien conquerors.
We are also fighting the battle of
liberty-loving, self-respecting, de
cently-behaved nations of mankind.
We must back up the Red Cross and
all similar organizations in every way
possible."

HAiRRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PEACE PLOTTERS
TAKEN IN FRANCE
Enormous Sums Spent to Cor
rupt Press and Discour
age Soldiers
B;> Associated Press
Paris, Oct. 1. The arrest of 8010
Pasha and the disclosure of tangible
evidence as to the source of enormous
sums expended in France to corrupt
the press and organize a propaganda
of depression and discouragement
among both civilians and soldiers, has
created a great sensation, but at the
same time a feeling of relief that the
scandal which has been clouding
France for many months is on the
point of being cleared up.
The existence of such a plot has
been hinted at for more than a year.
Very pointed accusations have been
made in certain newspapers, but they
passed almost unnoticed by the gen
eral public until the arrest of M. Du
val. director of the Bonnet Rouge, was
announced in the Chamber of Depu
ties by Premier Bibot. 8010 Pasha's
case had then been under investiga
tion for several months but all the
threads in the affair led to Switzer
land and the United States, both of
which countries then were neutral
and unable to give facilities for an in
vestigation as to the banking opera
tions in the case.
Harvard Loses 1804
Students Because of War
Official figures of registration day
at Harvard University show that the
net loss of students this year is 1,904
in comparison with last year's reg
istration, a decrease of 885 in the col
lege alone, where the total registra
tion revealed a decrease of students
in every department excepting the
medical department, where there is a
gain of thirty o'er last year.
The law school shows a heavy fal
ing off, 234 men registering this year
as compared with 504 last year. In
the Graduate School of Arts and
Science, 202 men enrolled, as com
pared to 428. The Divinity School en
rolled sixteen, a loss of thirteen.
Thirty-nine students were in the
School of Architecture last year, while
only thirteen registered this fall,
while the Dental School has 185 as
against 215. Only three have enrolled
at the Bussey Institute.
The two upper classes have ex
perienced the greatest decrease. The
seniors number only 199, or half of
the 1916 registration; the Junior num
ber 332, compared with 602 last year;
the sophomores number 433, compared
with 703; the freshmen number 535,
compared with 680.
Considering; tlie 1,400 naval students
studying at Harvard, to whose uses
the university is devoting; Pierce,
Hastings and Perkins halls, the studio
buildings, the Hemenway gymnasium
and Memorial Hall, the total number
of students making demands upon the
college buildings and laboratories is,
however, almost as great as last year.

A Reliable Compass

Dame Fortune and the everlasting
gratltudo of the people of the United
States and their allies await the per
son of an inventive turn of mind who
will produce a reliable magnetic com
pass for use on airplane, says the
New York Sun. Because of the imper
fections of the compasses now in use
the aeronaut never depends upon
them when he can use land bearings.
Compasses have been a source of
anxiety to their users for centuries.
Erratic variations often occur in com
passes on a steel ship; on a submarine
a compass is practically useless; in
underground surveying the instru
ment is likely to be deflected by,
masses of ore. Because of its insta
bility and the ease with which it can
bo misread a compass is often the

operations even in the hands of an
'experienced officer.
In an airplane, where the compass
should be most easily read and fol
lowed with confidence, the Instrument
Is most susceptible to adverse influ
ences. Airmen often fly above or In
the clouds, where there is no chance
to see the earth, and then they are
compelled to place nil dependence in
the compass unless they can glimpse
the sun or the stars.
With this machine speeding at the
rate of from sixty to one hundred
miles an hour, a military aeronaut,
who is the victim of a compass' er
ror, Is in danger of making an er
roneous report or of landing miles
from his objective. As an airplane
is constantly in vibration every
change in direction upsets the com
pass. \
The great speed of the airplanes
has been the principal obstacle that
inventors have encountered in their
efforts to devise a compass more satis
factory than those now In use. Com
passes are made so that errors due
OCTOBER 1, 1917.
to various causes correct themselves
automatically in a short time, but the
point in that the time has not been
reduced enough to make for that re
liability that ia necessary to a flier.
Every slight turn of the machine
disturbs the compass card, which
tokos some time to come to rest
again. While that time is elapsing
the airman is in danger of being led
into serious error.
Of the thousands of Inventions re
latlnß to the war which have been
tiled in the patent offices of the Unit
ed States and the countries of the En
tente Allies in the last three yours
many have been for compasses for
airplanes. The points aimed at par
ticularly have been the elimination of
errors that result from tilting and
banking. The problems are complex
and have been studied for years, as
the troubles worried users of com
passes long before airplanes came into
the world.
